HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

I fear not about my Ummat but of their weakness of Yaqeen.

Allah Almighty says: [Say O Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam to mankind]: if you love Allah, follow me (), Allah will love you (3:31)

Muhabbat with Allah Almighty and the Prophet of Allah Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam is identified by this that if he should consider Allah Almighty the All Present, the All Seer, the All Hearer, the All Observer and the All Knowledgeable and in the same way his true Eitiqaad (Conviction)" should be in his highness the Overlord of World Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam because that person, to him the Teaching and learning, Initiation on his blessed hand and Talqeen is not got in the Inward, that person can neither become Aalim-Aamil nor the Kaamil Faqeer and Waasil.

O effeminate (bisexual)! Try that you should come out of the Martaba of the effeminate (bisexual) and reach unto the Martaba of Mard. What is Martaba of the effeminate (bisexual) (Mardak)? His Martaba is this that he, day and night, fights against foes of Allah Almighty that is: the Satan and Nafs and the Martaba of the Mard fighter against infidels (Ghazi) is this that he at once decapitates all the Outsiders of Allah Almighty with the Sword of the Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat) in one strike that he might secure peace against their nuisance; that is, Istiqamat is better than Karamat and Maqamat. Same as Riyazat has relation with Rujuaat-e-Khalq; same like this Secret has relation with Mushahida. Murshid-e-Kaamil is he, who gives Secret without Riyazat in the very first day.

[O True-Seeker] be informed [well] that the sellers on shop (Ahl e Dukaan), the Dead Hearted, the People of Bidat, the worst beasts, proud on the power and dignity of their ancestors, far away of God and the Prophet of God hold the hairs of the Mureedain in hand and cut with scissors but they lack Inward and are devoid of Marifat! Such Piraan have the Maratib of barber [that is, such Piraan are hair cutters]. And the Mukammil and Master of Taseer Pir is he, who can make the Mureed the Roshan-Zamir and takes him unto the Marifat of Lord with single Gaze or at once upon cutting one hair of the Mureed. Yes! There hinders no mountain or a wall between Allah Almighty and slave but the Hijaab between God and slave is [just] the membrane (peel) of onion!

ABOUT ISTIQAMAT AND KARAMAT: Uprightness is called Istiqamat, which implies that the Faqeer should remain safe against unrighteousness and should never allow the taint of Nafs and Satan in him. It also implies that he should never be desirous of anything else besides Allah. That unusual outcome that apparently seems impossible, if that happens by the Aulia-Allah Rahmatu-Allah Ta'ala Alaihim, then it is called Karamat and if such happens by a non-believer, then it is called Istadraaj. Since, in Karamat, there is possibility of the taint of the Nafs that is why Istiqamat is above Karamat.
